Salary: 70,000 - 75,000
Location: Remote
Contract: 6-month FTC

Role Overview:

Our client is looking for an experienced Network Monitoring Specialist to support a major network infrastructure rollout on a 6-month fixed-term basis.

This is a hands-on role focused on designing, implementing and commissioning monitoring capability across newly deployed network and fibre infrastructure. The priority is to ensure the environment is fully visible, measurable and supportable from day one.

The role would suit someone with strong experience across network observability, alerting, telemetry, dashboards, service health, performance baselining and operational handover. The client is open to different monitoring backgrounds, particularly where candidates have worked with tools such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, Telegraf, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic, OpenTelemetry, SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX or syslog pipelines.

You will work closely with network engineering and operational teams to deliver reliable monitoring at pace within a project-led environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and deploy monitoring solutions across newly delivered network infrastructure.
• Build monitoring capability that provides clear visibility of network health, performance and service availability.
• Work with monitoring and observability platforms such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic or similar.
• Support metrics ingestion, retention, alerting, dashboarding and performance visibility.
• Build or support streaming telemetry pipelines to provide real-time visibility across the network.
• Implement and refine alerting workflows for service health, escalation and operational response.
• Develop dashboards and reporting views to support engineering and operational teams.
• Commission monitoring across network devices, access infrastructure and Layer 1-3 equipment.
• Define baseline performance metrics, thresholds and SLA-led alerting.
• Work closely with network and operational teams to align monitoring with changing infrastructure requirements.
• Support analytics-led monitoring for anomaly detection and predictive fault identification where relevant.
• Improve monitoring architecture, tooling, documentation and handover processes.
• Produce clear runbooks, escalation paths and operational guides.
• Support knowledge transfer into internal technical teams.

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience in a senior network monitoring, network engineering or observability-focused role.
• Experience working in a telecoms, ISP, managed network or large-scale infrastructure environment.
• Strong understanding of network monitoring principles, including alerting, telemetry, dashboards, service health and performance baselining.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring or observability tools such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, Telegraf, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic, OpenTelemetry or similar.
• Experience with network data sources and protocols such as streaming telemetry, gNMI, gRPC, SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX or syslog.
• Good understanding of time-series monitoring, metrics ingestion, retention and performance visibility.
• Strong networking fundamentals across TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs and optical or fibre environments.
• Familiarity with dashboarding, alert tuning, service health monitoring and operational reporting.
• Exposure to AI/ML-led monitoring, anomaly detection or predictive fault identification would be beneficial.
• Scripting or automation experience, such as Python or Bash, would be advantageous.
• Comfortable working independently and delivering against defined project milestones.
• Strong communication, documentation and stakeholder engagement skills.
